Paranormal Paratek are travelling through parts of Queensland to investigate reported hauntings.

Part of that tour has brought Darren to the old gold mining town of Mount Morgan.

"Starting with the museum, we've set up equipment here and that was left alone in the locked up museum overnight," he says.

"We look forward to reviewing that data later which we believe has possibly caught something because of equipment that had been tampered with overnight but we're yet to be sure of what we may have captured, whether it's audio or visual."

He says the battery operated equipment was drained of power which is unusual.

"It's a belief that with this portable operated equipment, particularly when it's battery operated, one of the first signs, a spirit will actually take that equipment out, they will drain that equipment and in some cases they can utilise that energy from those batteries to go on and do other things," says Darren.

He says items in the museum would naturally attract spirits.

"Quite often in these types of places, they have a lot of attachments which would be all this memorabilia and there are some amazing things in here such as war medals, the photos," he says.

"There's a lot of personal items in here which could be of some significance or personal attachment to a spirit."

Darren says from his research, he hasn't found any indication that anyone has died at the museum but the land the museum is on could have an interesting history.

He says the first thing he does when he visits a community is research the history through historical societies, he talks to locals and hunts through old newspapers.

"Then we may be able to link people from the past with that history and then that may just make that connection with what could be the claims for paranormal activity," says Darren.

He says there's plenty of stories of hauntings around Mount Morgan, including seven spirits and a dog haunting the Leichhardt Hotel.

"We've had a couple of links so far with the Leichhardt Hotel and people from the past such as a bar maid and she was 22, 23-years-old and in 1899 she died," he says.

"Her name was Margaret Carhill and it was a terrible case of suicide but it was later to be found it was murder.

"It's a potential link, we haven't confirmed but the Leichhardt Hotel claim the ghost of a chamber maid may just be that Margaret Carhill."
